Very Satisfactory Transaction
Seller was prompt in shipping product. However, the choice of shipping was limited. It took more than a week for USPS to deliver the paperback size book. I ordered the book on 2/12 and received the book on 2/25.

I was charged $3.99 for shipping. USPS informed me that for about $1 more, I could have the book delivered in 2-3 days. Seller should look into offering this other option.

Thank you.

Love it
I am a great fan of Jet Li I consider him the greatest Martial artist who ever lived.I saw all his movies,that this book is the ultimate.

why the bashing?
Well the book isnt horrible but im a fan of all martial arts stars and the bashing in subtle ways of other stars such as jackie chan(who we all know is better and highly more creative) is unacceptable.

Solid Bio of the Last Great Martial Arts Star
A solid biography of Li up to the year 2002. ("The Shaolin Temple" to "The One")
It is the best bio on Li written so far...it is probably the only one so far.
Author James Robert Parish chronicles the ups and downs of Li's personal life and film career, giving plot synopsis and a behind the scenes looks at how the film projects came about and were recieved by the public. The book is an easy read and provides an interesting look at Li's life and film career from his youth in Beijing to his big break in Hollywood. Bios written about people who are still active become dated quickly. This book will just have to do for another 15 years or so when, hopefuly, more detailed and complete bios can be written about Li's life.

Recommended for huge Jet Li fans and huge fans of the kung fu film genre.

Jet Li aka Li Lian-jie
This biography offers an indepth look at Jet Li's life. We see a humble little chinese boy from a poor family who through rigorous wushu training transforms from a martial artist into an action movie star. We also get an overview of his films and situations that lead up to him filming them. The book even manages to reveal personal things about this famous yet somewhat shy man. The only part I did not enjoy was when it implied some sort of rivalry between Jet Li and fellow martial artist turn movie star and friend Jackie Chan. Based on commnents from Mr. Li on his official website Jackie Chan is a friend of his and they socialize regularly. However overall this is a good book to buy if you want to learn more about this amazing man. ... Read more

April 1954 in Hongkong) ist ein Schauspieler des Martial-Arts-Films, Produzent, Drehbuchautor sowie im asiatischen Raum auch als Sänger bekannt. Geboren wurde er in Hongkong als Sohn von Charles und Li-Li Chan. Sein Geburtsname war Chan Kong-Sang (chin. , Chén Gǎngshēng), was so viel bedeutet wie „der in Hongkong geborene Chan". In der Filmindustrie von Hongkong vermarktete man Chan anfangs wie viele andere als Nachfolger von Bruce Lee, der 1973 verstarb und dessen Tod der Filmindustrie in Hongkong einen schweren Schlag versetzte. Filmemacher suchten einen neuen Bruce Lee, Chan selbst sah sich aber nicht als dessen Nachfolger. Er kreierte seinen eigenen, sich durch Akrobatik und komödiantische Einlagen auszeichnenden Kampfstil, der sich von Bruce Lees wesentlich unterscheidet, der auf Ernsthaftigkeit beruhte. Jackie Chan wuchs in ärmlichen Verhältnissen in einer Familie auf, die während des Chinesischen Bürgerkrieges in die britische Kolonie Hongkong geflüchtet war. Charles und Lee-Lee Chan lebten zunächst in ärmlichen Ghettos, wurden dann aber kurz darauf beim französischen Konsul beschäftigt, wo Chans Mutter Dienstmädchen und sein Vater Koch wurde. Sie wohnten im exklusiven Villenvorort Victoria Peak, wobei sie doch recht abgeschottet von der westlichen Welt lebten. Da sein Vater chinesische Kampftechniken beherrschte, lehrte er diese Chan schon früh in dessen Kindheit. Im Alter...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=132197 ... Read more
